How the hell did you manage to get tickets to this game?

I'm really glad to see Skinner doing so well for you guys. I always liked the guy and actually thought he was brought in to start alongside Brad Miller because of Miller's poor interior defense. When Miller comes back he will bring defensive intensity off the bench and probably get 25-30 mpg backing up Miller and Thomas. Not bad.

AI's new hairstyle is horrible...

I bought them the night after the trade. $113 for 2 tickets in the last row in the building. But it was worth it.

Very nice win. As expected, AI took as many shots as requird to get his 30+ points. He went 14-31 shooting 45%, which is a pretty good shooting night for him. Cuttino put up 30 points of his own, shooting much more efficiently and going 6-8 from beyond the arc. Mobley's line is very impressive - he got three steals and three blocks as well. What is more important is playing well down the stretch and picking up another win.

Postgame Quotes-vs. Philadelphia

[Pejavlade]

The former King is greeted warmly from Oak Park to Arco.

It was almost like just coming in and trying to separate this day as a different part of my career here," he told the packed interview room that for the first time during a regular-season game hosted an opposing player for a postgame session. "I didn't want this to be me versus them. I enjoyed my time here. I wanted to win, but there will be some guys in that (Kings') locker room who I'll be friends with when we probably can't even walk from all this playing.

No one can make this day a negative. I'm (ticked) that we lost. But this is a good day because it means closure. I hope everybody will remember our (Kings) team for what it was. It was a good team, and we would have done great this year.

The obvious is this is the first time I was traded in the middle of the season," he said. "The first time being traded from a championship contender. The first time I tried to pack six years' worth of stuff in one day.

Love and misses

In a first-quarter moment dependent on the background, Webber and Stojakovic - once side-by-side stars before the Kings chose one over the other - had a one-on-one sequence of miniature Kobe-Shaq proportions.

"It's disappointing because every time I've made a return with another team, we've won, and so this really hurts," Webber said. "I didn't want this to be me versus the Kings. I wanted to win. ... I wanted to come here, to win, smile, see the families and the kids and keep a good memory of Sacramento."

"Overall, our energy was unbelievable," Thomas said. "I think this was one of the best games we've played since we got here."
